Already firm fans of the traiteur side (mmm coppa...), my amoureux treated me to a birthday dinner in the restaurant last week.
We started off with the planche and 2 glasses of red from the Puglia region. A delicious mix of tapenade, charcuterie and fromage was presented and washed down with the medium, fruity and slightly spicey wine. On to the main course: my boyfriend went for the lasagne and I the ricotta and asparagus. Although both creamy, cheesy and particularly rich, I think my boyfriend was jealous of my choice (haha). Both came in at around 16 euros which, for the quality and quantity, is really not bad!
Both too full for dessert, we had a decaf and waddled back home.
A romantic and gastronomic evening although one slight downfall. We were never shown the prices of the wine or of the planches. What's more, our waitress informed us that she had deliberatly not told us that they also do a small planche so that we'd order the big one... Cunning perhaps but not really customer-friendly. Next time we will ask to see a menu before ordering! read more
